MIT Technology Review is looking for the best tech talents in Europe since 2011. To that purpose, the magazine from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology have held local editions of the competition in Belgium, Spain, France, Poland, Germany and Italy pursuing always the same objective: to award innovation — the development of new technologies or the creative application of already existing ones in order to resolve current problems—, ingenuity, and advances toward addressing the world’s most important challenges.

As the european project has been getting stronger, this year the community has gone one step forward. Consequently, this year we are compiling a pool of the 35 best profiles within Europe that will become Innovators Under 35 Europe. On September 14th, the laureates will have the opportunity to participate in the Innovators Under 35 Europe Awards Ceremony to meet and gather with members of our global community which will result in high visibility in national and international media outlets and will boost their projects and/or initiatives.

Join us atStation F on September 14th, the world biggest startup campus in the world to welcome the new generation of 35 Innovators Under 35:

In addition to the European Edition, we have published the lists of the TOP TECH TALENTS that are competing for a spot among the final list of winners in each of the countries where more
than 100 Innovators Under 35 have already been recognized by the community – Belgium, Spain, France, Poland, Germany and Italy–.
